Sentence examples for goal-directed performance from inspiring English sources

In the last decade, studies of the functional properties of the resting brain have identified a network of connected brain regions that are active during rest, but which deactivate during the onset of goal-directed performance [1], [2], [3], [4].

Stress can induce a bias by promoting habit-based forms of learning and memory in lieu of goal-directed performance.

Furthermore, an fMRI investigation (13) implicated the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in goal-directed performance on our instructed outcome devaluation test.

Such an explanation could be supported by the data showing that behavioral, goal-directed performance related to expectation of visual cues is improved with decreased Granger influence from the right TPJ to the right IPS, which does indeed suggest the inhibitory character of this connection (Wen et al. 2012).

Having extensive connections to many parts of the cortex [ Haber and Knutson, 2009], the VS is related to many aspects of goal-directed functioning, including the enhancement of performance during reward anticipation [ Liljeholm and O'Doherty, 2012].

It will address the essential need for rehabilitation services to consider flexible models of service delivery in response to family preferences and an increasing emphasis on improving goal-directed functional activity performance and societal participation within a family-centred framework [ 94].

We used sLORETA to calculate the log F ratio differences between each cortical voxel and compare the generators associated with the attenuation, or deactivation of VLF power during goal-directed attention and task performance first in the entire sample, and secondly in the low and high ADHD groups separately.

Culminating lines of evidence have suggested that patients with schizophrenia show deficits of executive function, which is mainly mediated by the frontal lobe and which is involved in the ability of goal formation, planning, executing goal-directed plans, and effective performance [ 4, 54].

To date, there is no unequivocal evidence for separate visual computations of object features for performance of goal-directed actions versus perceptual tasks in the neurologically intact human brain.
